2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
2/3 cup shortening
•

Directions
1
To make the filling: Combine blackberries, raspberries, and rhubarb in a medium bowl. Mix 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour together in a separate bowl; sprinkle over fruit mixture and stir gently. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight.
2
To make the crust: Mix 2 cups flour with salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening and 2 tablespoons butter until texture is like coarse cornmeal. Place 1/3 of mixture in a separate bowl. To the smaller portion, add water and mix to form a paste. Add this mixture back to the rest of flour mixture and stir just until dough forms a ball. Allow to rest at least 20 minutes before rolling out. Divide dough in half. Roll out bottom crust and place in 9-inch pie pan.
3
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4
Mix 1 tablespoon melted butter and lemon juice into fruit filling, then spoon into pastry-lined pie pan. Roll out top crust and place over filling. Crimp edges and cut steam vents in top. Brush lightly with half and half and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
5
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden, about an additional 40 to 50 minutes.
